Social Risk Taking Propensity and Anxiety as Predictors of Group Performance

Melnick, Joseph; Wicher, Donna

Journal of Counseling Psychology, 24, 5, 415-419, Sep 77

Two participants from each category were placed in each group. Results indicated high risk takers were seen as more verbally active, self-disclosing, and risk taking. (Author)
